-== Cultural Information ==
+'''Sample Answers:'''
-In Pashtun culture, family is considered the cornerstone of society. Family members are expected to support and protect each other, and to maintain strong ties with relatives even beyond the nuclear family. The Pashtunwali code of ethics, which is practiced among Pashtuns and many other ethnic groups in Afghanistan and Pakistan, places a high value on hospitality, honor, and revenge. Family members are expected to uphold these values and to maintain the honor of their family name.
+. پلار (Plar)
-Among Pashtuns, there are specific honorifics and titles used to address family members based on age, gender, and relationship. For example, younger brothers may refer to their older brothers as "tate" (تاته) or "ta" (تا), while younger sisters may refer to their older sisters as "wrazhina" (ورژینه) or "wraxa" (وراخه). In some cases, additional titles may be used to show respect, such as "mian" (میاں) for husband and "bibi" (بی بی) for wife.
+. مور (Mor)
-In Pashtun families, gender roles are often traditional, with men typically working outside the home and women taking care of domestic responsibilities. However, this is not always the case, and there are many Pashtun women who have achieved success and recognition in various fields. Pashtun families also value education and encourage their children to pursue academic and professional opportunities.
